    The scene were this OST is played is the epidomy of the entire show where everything that happened for the past 120+ episodes lead to that very moment. The emotions I felt during that scene were a mix of sadness, anticipation, shock, sheer disbelief and excitement. After the scene I felt as if everything was complete yet it was so empty. It felt as if you finally undersood everything there is to know but your newly gained knowledge took your ability to have any new thoughts, since everything is so obvious and laid infront of you that you can't do anything else except to just look at it and appreciate it.

  • @justinleach4775
    @justinleach4775 8 месяцев назад +247

    Yeah, this track is deep in the run of the series, so it’s tough to contextualize without spoiling, but here’s my best shot:
    We always hear the “triumphant hero” theme in stories because we’re following the hero’s side of things and that cues us in that this is good for our character. In a fight where the hero wins, if we were watching from *the villain’s* perspective, we might get a more somber track instead, because we aren’t getting a good result for the character we’re attached to.
    This track is what plays when what is happening is not good for *anyone* involved.

    I totally agree with this piece standing out from basically everything else you’ve heard. With minimal spoilers, that’s kinda the point. It plays during a scene that in retrospect, totally makes sense, but when you first watch it, it’s a sort of “I always expected something messed up, but I never expected THIS”. It’s easily the most fitting piece of music for the scene it accompanies out of any show I’ve seen, and it’s hard to say much more without major spoilers.

In every youtube reaction this episode always has waaay more views than every other episode. But you can't feel the full emotion of the episode without watching the rest because it's the climax of something that has been building up for a long time. I was getting goosebumps hearing this.

You point out sounds that I would've otherwise bundled with other sounds in my head, and it really helps me listen to music in a more critical/"present" sense.

    Since you mentioned it, there actually is a 'Dies Irae' in this anime. It's called 'Riot'. I remember back in University I'd show other students some of the HxH tracks, one memorable reaction was: 'Wait, that's from a TV series?'
    This show probably has the single greatest soundtrack in anime, in my opinion at least. I'd recommend the whole thing, but that's like 120 tracks.
    Still gonna recommend a few that stand out: 'Riot' of course.
    'The world of adventures' describes the mood for the more lighthearted half of the show pretty great.
    'All I need is MONEY' and 'Kijutsushi no Baire' ('The Mad Bailaor' as a different version) 'cause they're thematically very different character themes.
    'Beyond the Seas' cause just listen to that pedal point, '闇夜を告ぐ者' and that dissonance.
    'Requiem Aranea' and 'Gyakujuuji no Otoko' 'cause Aranea.
    'Latent Power' and 'Auras' are the same, one's instrumental the other vocal, both very ethereal.
    'No no Haru', very obviously inspired by the beginning of Stravinsky's 'Rite of Spring' and 'Rhapsody on The Theme of Holst' by Holsts 'Jupiter'.
    There's a lot going on in 'Realized Capacity'.
    'Kinpatsu no Gankou', listen to the strings!
    'Dirge from the Dark Side' and 'Hunters ARE evil' are both choral works I enjoy very much.
    The arc in which 'Theme of Kage & RASETSU' resides also has 'Kingdom of Predators', 'Hegemony of the Foodchain', 'Capture', 'The Prey', 'Elegy of the Dynast', 'Soldier Ants', 'Hopeless War', lots of very dark, in places very dissonant orchestrals, culminating in the simple but beautiful 'Understanding', which can only be fully appreciated when having watched the series.
    'Restriction and Pledge' should be listened to directly after 'Theme of Kage & RASETSU', but on its own it's also a great orchestral piece.
    'In The Palace', cause I'm a violinist.
    I'm very bad at recommending only one or two, don't think anyone will read the full comment and listen to all of these...

    As others have said, the track plays during one of the arguably most important episodes not just in HxH, but in all of modern anime. I actually cry every single time I watch it, it is an absolute masterpiece. As some have said, the voice acting (JP) in this episode is a perfect complement to the music as well. In terms of what is happening...it's essentially the protagonist's descent into a form of despair and misguided self-sacrifice as a result of intense rage and guilt, leading to a "power up" moment that is the antithesis of such moments and transformation in contemporary anime

    One of the things that impress me from manga, are the emotions that are drawn in a paper. Its so difficult to link emotions with a piece of paper without context and there is where music comes in. Epic scenes as these ones in anime are the perfect mixtures between story, music and emotions on the voice of thw characters, each one by themself wont give you the whole picture, but together, ... dude... could become masterpieces.

    This is the gripping climax to a journey you didn't think you signed up for, but then looking back you can't deny that it was always the only way for it to end. You were just foolishly hoping for it not to turn out this way. If ultimate victory is also the ultimate tradegy, this is the score for it. Most definetly in the top 5 of the most legendary anime moments of all time.

    This scene represents the complete accumulation and destruction of an emotion spanning a lifetime. This is a contender for most powerful scene in media.
    Listening to it, even with your breakdown, put me in a state of emergency depression and I subconciously broke my fast/ diet and had to have 2 bags of chips as is my coping mech. for Trauma. The song itself evoked a truama response in me... Is it possible to have PTSD from such a scene if you have a lot of empathy?

  • @TwilightWolf2508
    @TwilightWolf2508 7 месяцев назад +1

    This piece plays during a peak fight of one of the best anime arcs ever written. There's a lot built up here in terms of character development and motivation, and this is the point where the metaphorical zit pops. This is currently one of the last arcs of the anime but hxh is absolutely worth the watch and read.
    I would recommend the Spider's Requiem from this anime as well, but honestly I think it's best experienced while watching the anime with the full context of what's going on.

    Came from your top 10 of 2023 video.
    Wow that was crazy. On my first listen to (4:12 - 4:54) I had this feeling of despair and dread due to what I think is dissonance but like you said, on the second listen, it was completely different. I wasn't even sure what section caused the emotional response anymore. It's really weird and kind of sad how the intensity was gone after the first listen. Interesting experience.

    You need to listen more from Yoshihisa Hirano!! He's one of my favorite anime composers!! His music in HxH is amazing, and so is his work on Death Note Soundtrack along with Hideki Taniuchi

    Oh my god, finally! The Hunter x Hunter OST needs more love on youtube. The show itself gets a lot of love...but for some reason people always skip out on the OST.
    Kevin Penkin and his Made in Abyss OST is my undeniable favorite anime OST out there...but Hirano never fails to deliver some stunning work. Hopefully you listen to more of the HxH OST soon; I got so excited when this video popped up.

    @J4j4yd3r 8 месяцев назад

    The scene this track is used for is basically a line being crossed into an unknown-yet-certain doom, for very human, very sympathetic reasons. At this moment in the story, no one - none of the characters in the story nor the audience, only the author knows what will happen next. Yet the nature of what is happening in the scene, coupled with a deliberate and recurring foreshadowing since almost the start of the series, leaves the audience with very little hope that anything good will come out of the scene.
    I really love how well the music communicates this dread and foreboding.

  • @Namaster88

    The atonal introduction reminds me a lot of the beginning of Jean-Féry Rebel's 'Les élémens' (baroque but very modern sounding composer), very interesting piece; you should check it out if you're curious.

    Loved your reaction and analysis! Regarding the first half, the "uneasy" section, the main vocal melody in my opinion is probably based on something along the lines of sutra chanting by Buddhist monks, which Japanese listeners including myself would easily be able to relate to, as that is what we hear and listen to during funerals held in Buddhist style, the most popular style of funeral in Japan.

    I saw a few seconds of this scene from the show on youtube and immediately turned it off and started watching the whole show to get the context. It's powerful stuff. When I finally came back to this scene, it didn't matter that I had seen a bit months earlier, it still hit like a truck.

    @silverwolfzs7601 8 месяцев назад +2
